  • Wildlife Impacts Associated with the Proposed Upgrades to the Trans-Canada Highway (Park Bridge to Brake Check): Preliminary Design Considerations
    OSIRIS WILDLIFE CONSULTING STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Wildlife Impacts Associated with the Proposed Upgrades to the Trans-Canada Highway (Park Bridge to Brake Check): Preliminary Design Considerations Prepared for: Darcy Grykuliak, P.Eng. Lead Engineer, Kicking Horse Canyon Project Focus Corporation Ltd. Prepared by: W.L. Harper, M.Sc., RPBio Osiris Wildlife Consulting Victoria, BC December 15, 2004 Trans-Canada Highway Wildlife Impacts – Park Bridge to Brake Check Executive Summary This highway design project consists of upgrading, redesigning and relocating 5.5 km of the Trans-Canada Highway adjacent to the Kicking Horse River 12 to 17 km east of Golden, British Columbia. The environmental analysis in this report addresses potential wildlife impacts and their mitigation at a level appropriate to the preliminary design stage of the highway project. With appropriate mitigation measures in place, it is unlikely there will be measurable negative impacts on wildlife populations associated with direct mortality from animal- vehicle collisions, habitat fragmentation from barriers to animal movement, direct loss of habitats to the project footprint, or cumulative effects associated with other wildlife impacts in the area. Although the exact nature of the appropriate mitigation measures required cannot be determined until the detailed design stage, there are a number of reasonable and tested mitigation techniques available. Minor modifications to drainage culverts and concrete roadside barriers should address small animal concerns, and the bridge and tunnel system, if properly designed, should address large animal concerns. Although the faster design speed and straightening of curves in the project area means vehicle traffic speed will increase with completion of the project, a combination of mitigation measures, possibly including wildlife exclusion fencing, can mitigate these impacts of direct mortality.

Most of these sites are concentrated in the eastern and southern part of the state, with a chronology spanning from as early as AD 400 through the earliest era of European contact, and encompassing various archaeological cultures (e.g. St. Johns, Glades, and Belle Glade).
